The April solo challenge is now active. It is to play the Ambas versus the automa of the month, the Xenos (you must select the 'Automa of the month' button), on the Random map. Check that the seed in the automa score panel is 16803504. It is important that you read the “Rules“ section for more details, especially if the seed is not 16803504.
Whether you are a beginner or an expert, this challenge is for you. The goal is simple: have fun and get a high score in solo mode. Thanks to the BGA set-up, you can easily compare your score, watch replays of other players and learn different ways of playing a faction. Play serenely at your leisure: there is no timer pressure!
Thank you to the 20+ players who reported scores for the last challenge, and to the many others that tried it. Well done Jowbo, who topped the scores!
Scores of the month: There's elite rank for the top 5 players and cadet rank for everyone else.
1st step: Create a new table. Select “training mode“ on the Game Mode tab and “Random map” on the Game setup tab. Choose 1 player and click on “Start game”. Select the red box Automa of the month (Xenos).
2nd step: Select the difficulty you think you can handle.
3rd step: Select the faction Ambas. Check that the seed is 16803504 (in the player score panel). If it isn't, start again using the alternative starting method (below).
4th step: Play the game. Post your score(s), mentioning the chosen difficulty (see the format below).
Alternative starting method: Start the game with Random map selected >> Choose the Xenos faction card (as you would for a normal game) >> Set the custom seed (16803504 for this challenge), which is next to the heading 'Choose Automa Difficulty Level', and Select the Automa difficulty >> Choose Ambas.
Players usually insert the link of their game (you can find it on your profile – tab (x) games played) and mention which tech tracks and other actions have been crucial for them (e.g. terraforming).
Ideally, use this format: YourNickname Score vs AutomaLevel Score – LinkOfTheGame – Techs focus – YourComment (e.g. : Marcus Aurelius 222 vs Ultoma 165 – www.boardgamearena.com/game=12345 – focus on Science and Terraforming until mid-game).
Have fun!
